    I just wish they didn’t come with chips inside our cables.

      A chip can literally just contain basic logic gates. Your aversion to them is based on pure Qanon fiction

        My aversion to them is an aversion to unnecessary overhead. A cable is a cable, it shouldn’t be a third device.

        No, the chip is a microcontroller with firmware. You can try to do it in pure logic but it’s a waste of effort and development resources.
